Remarkable Operation.

Mrs. Luckembaugh, the lady from a

Steelsmith performed al operation a
short time ago, is sufficiently recovered
to return home, and will do so tomOr-

sisted of sewing up an opening in the
bladder as large as a silver half dollar.
The lady had been in this condition for
two years and had given up all hopes of
recovery, when it came to the notice of
these physicians and they performed
the operation with the above successful
result. One can imagine the happy
state of the suffers mind at this time.

we knew that Diego Dams soul was stained
whom he had guided across the plains into
the power of the Coyote, trappers and
hunters he had ambushed, friends who had
slept with him, women who had loved him
their cruel murders were all reflected as
they passed in the dying mans memory
across those steel blue lenses. Then came
the old haunted house and the murder Of
Dolores parents. Now we knew that the
attack had been led by Diego Dan and
Charner. All! it was a long, terrible sight,
but we stoodspell- bound and immovable an
til we knew that sudden quarrel between
these two men had saved us. They had
planned to meet Dolores and me below the
Devils Elbow. murder us, and divide the
treasure between themselves.
Their wicked plans had failed, however;
they had quarreled suddenly and slain each
other.
We took the bodies aboard and returne
that night to Cottonwood.

At this point the old miners companiop
pulled at my sleeve and whispered:
There wasn't any Dolores. He was lost
out on the desert, last year, two days, with
out food or water. He finally came into
camp, with his clothes torn into shreds, his
fingers worn to the bone scratching for
water, as they always do, and his mind
entirely gone. He still gets very dry at
times. and then he tells that story to some
nice, gentlemanly tenderfoot, who always
gives him dollar to get whisky at the
commissary. He is very dry tonight.

material is Of black velvet or satin, the two
pieces measuring about ten inches by
eight. The upper corners are slightly
rounded and the lower ones sloped until
the lower edge measures only five inches
across. The velvet is then embroidered
with silk and fine chenille-the leaves and
stems with green and brown silks, in satin
overcast and feather stitch; the flowers
with loops Of bright colcred chenille. The
bag is then lined, the parts sewed together,
and the upper part plated or shirred, and
fastened into the steel clasp on the outside
Of the old bag.
MUSIC PORTFOLIO.
A handsome present to lady Of musical
tendencies is made as follows: Cut
four pieces of cardboard fifteen by
eleven inches square. Cover two of
them with silesia for the inside.
The outside covering is Of dark red
satin, cloth or velvet, embroidered in chain
and feather stitch, the pattern representing
the flower known as the bachelors button
or ragged sailor. Colors used for working
should be shaded blue and pink for the
flowers, and the olive shade for the vine
and leaves. When the embroidery is fin
ished, stretch over the cardboard, and then
overland an inside and outside piece to-
gether. Finish the edge all round with q
cord, and make handles of the same. The
hinges are made of ribbon sewed across
and tied in bows afterward; or cord and
tassels can take the place Of ribbon and be
far more effective

Suddenly the band, which had been
playing lively tune. began slow and
very impressive march. We now fell
into two lines, between which the
Nikado and court slowly advanced.
His Majesty was dressed in the uniform
of his guard, ugly and unbecoming. He
wore very impassive expression, Qc-
casionally stopping and nodding his
head very slightly in response to the
obeisances Of his subjects and foreign
guests. The Empress was dressed IA 3
costume of dark crimson velvet, with
close-ftting bodice, in which she looked
extremely well. She appeared trifie
nervous, but was very gracious, shak-
ing hands occasionally with the wives
of the foreign ministers and others
Then came several officials and some
eight or nine ladies of the court, all Of
these dressed in European style. Most
of the ladies appeared to our eyes
rather plain. The imperial party sat
down in small marquee for refresh
ments and the rest of us fell to in the
big one. We then looked at the chrys-
anthemums, which were well worth
seeing indeed. The flowers were Of
great size and beauty, white, yellow,
pink, etc. In one tent there were three
large bushes bearing respectively .156,
173, and 333 flower buds, all at con-
siderable size and at about the same
stage of maturity. Presently general
uncovering Of heads warned US that the
imperial party had risen and were de-
parting. We were informed that this
was almost the first occasion on which
the Mikado had thus appeared In
public. Truly. it is . wonderful change.

EARTHQUAKES.

It is manifest that the initial impulse
Of an earthquake must be due to some
sudden and violent origin. Various
causes may be conceived as possibly
producing the shock. For example,
when the roof Of subterranean cavity
collapses, conclusion must be pro-
duced which may have the effect of an
earthquake at the surface. In lime
stone countries, such as Carniola. the
ground is honeycombed with grottoes
and passages, and slight shocks of earth
quake are of frequent occurrence, due, no
doubt, to the falling in of some of these
underground caverns. More violent eff
fects might arise from the collapse of
large emptied volcanic reservoirs, as
perhaps has occurred at the extinct vol
cano of Ischia Again, the rocks of the
crust are in state of continuous strain
due to various causes, and especially to
the gradual contraction that arises from
the slow cooling of the planet. From
time to time there probably come mo-
ments when they can no longer bear
these stresses, and when consequently
they snap asunder and readjust them
selves in new position of equilibrium.
A slight dislocation of this kind would
undoubtedly set in motion series OF
earthquake waves that might devastate
the country far and wide, while more
extensive fracture might produce such
a catastrophe as man has never yet wit
messed. Such sudden ruptures of rocks
are not impossibly the sources of the
earthquake shocks 80 frequently ex-
perienced in mountainous countries.
Along the range of the Alps, for in
stances, subterranean disturbances are
of common occurrence, varying in force
from hardly perceptible tremors up to
smart and more or less destructive
shocks. That mountain chain has
long and most interesting history, which
takes us back to the early beginning.
of the shaping of what is now the
European continent. Instead of having
been produced by one primeval uplift,
the Alps have been upheaved again
and again, and during intervals of re-
pose their crests and declivities have
been slowly worn down, as they still
are to-day, by frost and rain, springs
and brooks, rivers and glaciers. Yet
the repose has only been comparative.

He Entertained Emerson.

While Ralph Waldo Emerson was on
his way to California several weeks
ago he fell in with gentleman who
was altogether so sociable and chatty
that an otherwise tedious journey was
rendered as cheerful as you please.
This gentleman's name was Sackett,
and he told Mr.. Emerson that he re-
sided in San Francisco-this was all
the information he ventured concern
ing himself, but from his conversation
Mr.. Emerson gathered that his newly
made acquaintance was indeed gem
tleman of intelligence and standing.
Mr.. Sackett pointed out all the points
of interest along the way. retailed a
lot of amusing anecdotes and, best of
all, was an attentive listener when Mr..
Emerson fell to discoursing upon the
Is, the To Be, the Seeming, and other
frothy subjects with which his scholar
~ and sanity intellect seemed thor
oughly conversant.
The natural consequence was that
Mr.. Emerson came to the conclusion
that Mr.. Sackett was as charming q
gentleman as he had ever met with,

that he accepted Mr.. Sackett's invita-
ton to dine with him Immediately upon
their arrival in San Francisco. The
next morning Mr.. Emerson was we'll
nigh paralyZed to find in all the local
papers this startling personal notice:
